How cyber-attacks target specific users and why

Andrew Tang, MTI Security Practice Director was joined by Eduardo Holgado, Cyberark Security Engineer to discuss a number of topics surrounding privileged access accounts, strategies for mitigating risk, the most common system vulnerabilities and cyber-attack types

GDPR is coming, are you ready?

MTI and our security partner, Forcepoint, are finding the majority of companies still aren’t prepared for the introduction of The General Data Protection Regulation. As a result, we are hosting an educational webinar. Attendees will be taken through key articles that need to be understood prior to May 2018; appropriate organisational and technical controls that can aid compliance with GDPR; and how to demonstrate urgency and quick wins, utilising technology, to senior management.

Protect Office 365 & your collaborative cloud from ransomware

Moving applications to the cloud offers great flexibility to organisations and its employees. This transition, though, does require businesses to review the security they have in place to ensure their operations remain secure.

Many organisations are looking to supplement the content security built into Office 365 with advanced controls to detect hidden and targeted threats, which could ultimately result in a costly data breach.

The big data opportunity

The rapid growth of unstructured data represents a significant challenge for many organisations. In an environment of constrained IT budgets, providing sufficient storage capacity and managing it effectively can be daunting. Numerous organisations though, are now realising that big data is a valuable asset that can be used to predict buying behaviours, to drive innovation, to uncover new opportunities and to gain competitive advantage. Central to realising these opportunities is the ability to analyse large volumes of unstructured data. here

Is your security evolving as fast as your threats?

The requirements for employees to be flexible and to be able to work on the move from various devices has made it increasingly challenging to protect them and their devices.

Traditional signature-based antivirus doesn’t defend against the latest threats and targeted attacks. Businesses need to be smarter and ensure security goes where the users go. They also need security that seamlessly moves from on-premises to cloud without impacting licensing or commercial agreements.

The end is coming for Windows 2003- Ensure your organisation is protected

Recent major breaches highlight the need for IT teams to keep up to date with the latest software versions.

Without these crucial software updates vulnerabilities like Shellshock, Heartbleed and FREAK can severely undermine corporate security efforts, putting sensitive data at risk. What’s worse is that more attacks have been predicted.

Importantly, the impending end-of-life of Windows Server 2003 means Microsoft will no longer release security updates to protect systems from such vulnerabilities, and the hackers know this of course.

Consolidate your endpoint, web, and email security

Do you need backup, disaster recovery, or business continuity?

Over 70% of UK organisations are not fully confident in their ability to recover systems and data from all platforms following a disruption. A worrying statistic, especially when the number of data loss incidents continues to rise, with some studies suggesting a 400% jump between 2012 and 2014 alone.

While most organisations consider data protection to be critical to the success of their organisation, 41% are still using backup as their primary protection strategy. With the cost and impact of data loss and downtime continuing to grow, this is a risky strategy indeed.
